Aspirin-isopropylantipyrine (N-3'a-propylphenazonyl-2-acetoxybenzamide) of the following formula ##STR1## and its pharmaceutical use. This compound can be prepared by reacting 1-phenyl-2-methyl-3-aminomethyl-4-isopropylpyrazolone of the formula ##STR2## with a member selected from the group consisting of acetylsalicylic acid and a reactive acid derivative thereof, and is useful as an analgetic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agent.

Process for preparing 2,2'-diacetoxy-dibenzoylperoxide by: reacting 2-acetyl-salicyloyl chloride with aqueous hydrogen peroxide in a reaction mixture medium of tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane in the presence of an organic base; separating a dichloromethane extract; diluting the dichloromethane extract with methanol and crystallizing the anhydrous product therefrom.

Ibuprofen-aspirin compounds useful in treating aspirin or ibuprofen-treatable conditions and hydroxymethylacylfulvene analogs useful as antitumor drugs.

The normal dosage of 10 grains (648 mg.) of aspirin, when combined with about 5 to 15, preferably about 10, grains of acetaminophen, yields increased blood levels of unhydrolyzed aspirin shortly and for extended periods after oral ingestion; a small addition of caffeine enables attainment of still higher blood levels of aspirin.

Aspirin is the most commonly used antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory agent. The usual pain-relieving adult dosage is 300 to 600 mg. To minimize frequent aspirin-induced gastric disturbance, many aspirin products contain buffering agents. Only a portion of the aspirin acts as aspirin, as part of the aspirin is decomposed into salicylic acid and acetic acid. Buffering agents cannot fully neutralize these acids along with the gastric acids, especially when larger aspirin doses are required. ...
